The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates has adopted an ordinance to distribute 20-million dollars in American Rescue Plan Act funding coming to the county from the federal government.
The county is getting 41-million, half of which will be distributed directly to the Cape’s towns, and the other 20-million will be allocated by the assembly.
According to Assembly Speaker Patrick Princi, the ordinance will better streamline the distribution of the funding.
The assembly will be working with town governments and the Board of County Commissioners to determine priorities.
